Memo
To:

Board of Directors

From: Mary Pat Frick, Business/Finance Manager Date: September 4, 2012 Re: Consent Calendar Item 4.B. Approval of Financial Reports Accounts Payable for September 11, 2012, Cash and Investment Report for June 2012, Cash and Budget-to-Actual Report for the Twelve Months Year Ended June 30, 2012

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Accounts Payable for September 11, 2012: The Board of Directors approves payments to vendors. In order to accomplish this at each regular meeting, staff prepares a preliminary list of vendors and anticipated payments a week before the Board of Directors meeting. The list provides each vendors name, a description of what the payment is for, the amount of the payment and accounting information. A finalized list of vendors and payments designating any changes from the preliminary list is provided to the Board of Directors on the day of the meeting. The listing also includes the Directors stipends even though the stipends are paid as part of the biweekly payroll process. Other payroll related disbursements are made every other week and included as part of the monthly disbursements in the monthly Cash and Investment Report. If any vendor checks have been issued since the last regular meeting and prior to the upcoming regular meeting, a memo is provided listing the early payments for ratification. Reports related to vendors on this months accounts payable with fixed contract amounts are attached to this report as well. Cash and Investment Reports for June 2012: To assist the Board of Directors in carrying out its fiduciary responsibilities, a monthly cash and investment report is prepared in conjunction with the reconciliation of the District financial institution accounts. The monthly report tracks the Districts reserve levels according to the adopted reserve policy, lists the balances maintained in the Districts financial accounts and summarizes the sources and uses of cash by fund. The June 2012 report was held for a month to facilitate a more complete close of the fiscal year. The workload this month has not

Z:\Mary Pat\Board of Directors\Staff Reports\2012\09 11 12 Financial Report.doc

allowed for the completion of the July 2012 report. It is hoped that the July and August reports can be presented at the next regular meeting. Budget-to-Actual Report for the Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2012: The District decreased net assets by $14,103 at the end of the fiscal year. This means that the budgeted net loss of $288,161 did not occur. The effort to achieve this savings was significant. The revenue before transfers was 92% of budget and the expenses before transfers were 86% of budget. The 14% expense savings was required to stay close to the actual revenues for the year. The water activities decreased net assets by $71,770 and the wastewater activities increased net assets by $57,667. Total District Total revenue before transfers equaled $3,893,214. As of June 30, 2012, residential treated water sales revenue was 90% of the budgeted amount. Commercial treated water sales revenue was 86% of the budgeted amount. Irrigation sales revenue was 111% of the budgeted amount. Wastewater revenue was 105% of the budgeted amount. Penalty revenue was 102% of the budgeted amount. The property taxes were 98% of the budgeted amount. Restricted benefit charges have been negligible during the year. Interest income is below the budgeted amount. The District continues to receive lease revenue and hydroelectric royalty payments to help offset some of the other revenue reductions. In addition, many of the retirees eligible for retiree health benefits make contributions toward the cost of their health premiums. The auditors determined that the retiree contributions have not been material to the Districts financial statements in the past. However, as the contributions are increasing each year, they have recommended netting the contributions against the premiums paid this fiscal year and in future fiscal years. Consequently, there is no retiree health contribution revenue this year. The adopted budget is a guide for the Districts activities and how the activities translate into dollars. It is normal for some categories to be higher or lower than the budget. Total operating expenses were $3,857,080 or 89% of the operating budget. It needs to be noted that most of the budgeted line items were less than 100% of the budget rather than over 100% of the budget. Significant effort has been put forth by District staff to cut costs. Vacant positions have created savings of approximately $200,000 during the year. The following are comments related to the budgeted line items that are over budget: Insurance: Dental/Optical District Plan has experienced greater usage than in previous years. The plan caps were not exceeded.

Engineering Studies includes Ecorp gaging services which were not budgeted in this account but recorded in this account. The quarterly payments approximate $5,000. Legal is above the budget primarily due to the costs paid for representation in the Leow case regarding pipeline right of ways. The Superior Court ruled in the Districts favor in November of 2011 but the plaintiff continues to pursue alternatives to the ruling. The District spent $40,472.16 in legal fees for this case during the fiscal year. Absent these costs the legal costs would have been about $20,000 under budget. There would have been additional savings, if less time was required to respond to Board of Directors activities. Staff development is being prioritized very carefully due to the reduced budget. Six expenditures were made during the year. One was a reimbursement for travel costs of $15.41. Another was $88.18 for the crews lunch during the Sliger Mine break. The rest was for the following seminars: * an USDA related webinar to assist with the USDA loan process, * an annual Governmental Generally Accepted Accounting Principles Update, * a Department of Transportation Supervisor/Designated Employee Representative Training Session, and *a Pesticide Applicators Professional Association session. Staff continues to put forth extreme efforts to comply with mandatory continuing education and cut costs. Online group training has been utilized which has drastically reduced this expense and complied with training requirements. Travel and conferences has no budget but the Board of Directors has approved attending key meetings and the travel costs are being paid. Bank fees & payroll services is a small portion of the budget and trending greater than the budget partly because the bank has increased returned check fees from $6 to $10. Retiree health premiums really represents the Governmental Accounting Standards Board 45 calculation for the annual postretirement healthcare cost for eligible retirees. The calculation was updated this year and is more than the budgeted amount. Memberships exceeded the budgeted amount primarily due to the Mountain Counties Water Resources Association dues increase of $2,750. Study amortization varies based on the studies undertaken by the District.

Auburn Lake Trails ZONE & CDS Wastewater Wastewater revenue totaled $366,001 or 105% of the budgeted revenue due to a higher level of escrow activity than expected. Wastewater expenses totaled $308,333 or 87% of budgeted expenses, a 13% budget savings. The Capital Improvement Budget Report This Capital Improvement Budget Report is based on the Capital Improvement Budget that was adopted as part of the budget in July 2011. It shows the investment the District has made in assets and studies during the year. The Water Rights Licensing is an on-going cost and included under Water Treatment Plants. The Urban Water Management Plan (UWMP) was finalized and accepted in July 2011. The UWMP costs were included in lasts years budget but due to the timing of the study the final disbursements for the project were made at the beginning of this year. The Cool Bike Path pipe relocation project, a mainline relocation required by the El Dorado County Department of Transportation, is one of those projects that the District has to pay for even though it was not budgeted and cost $35,104. The report shows an investment in capital and studies of $333,306 during fiscal year 2012. This capital outlay is significantly less than in previous years and shows a decrease of investment in the public infrastructure. This report is prepared to assist the Board of Directors and management of the District to understand how the District financial activities compare to its budget. The report is prepared on the accrual basis but does not include all the statements and notes required for the annual Basic Financial Statements. There is a lot of information in these reports. I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends: approval of the accounts payable for September 11, 2012, acceptance of the cash and investment report for June 2012, and acceptance of the Budget-to-Actual Report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.

Memo
To: Board of Directors From: Henry N. White Date: September 4, 2012 Re: Agenda Item #7: Consideration date to end irrigation season

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: Section 3(a) of Ordinance 2005-01 describes the irrigation season as generally from May 1 through September 30 of each year. The dates specified by the ordinance are the historical dates for the irrigation season and have been in place for decades. The ending date of the season provides an opportunity for district staff to complete maintenance projects on the ditch during the fall. These maintenance projects cannot be completed when the ditches are in service or during winter due to wet conditions. The fall maintenance projects are vital to providing reliable irrigation service year after year. The ordinance also authorizes the Board to consider changes to the start or ending date to respond to various hydrologic conditions. This agenda item provides the opportunity for such a discussion. RECOMMENDATION: Staffs recommendation is to end the irrigation season on September 30, 2012 so that necessary maintenance work can be completed.

Memo
To: Board of Directors From: Kelly Shively Date: September 4, 2012 Re: Agenda Item #8. GIS Database Update

BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION: In the Fall of 2011, the Board authorized Staff to proceed with developing a Geographical Information System (GIS) database and update of the District facility maps. Staff bid the project, and GeoIT Resources was selected to perform the work. The District rented Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) handheld units from California Survey and Drafting, Sacramento, CA. to collect field coordinates of existing water and irrigation service locations. The meter box and service locations were added to the GIS database and the District system maps. Many updates were made to the existing system maps to add features added since preparation of the earlier system maps. Updated systems maps were prepared on 11 x 17 size for use in the field by the Operators. Additionally, colored wall maps for each of the Water Distribution System, Irrigation System, and the Wastewater Zone in ALT were prepared and will be framed for display in the GDPUD office. Staff will present a brief demonstration of the GIS database during the Board meeting.

Both individuals agreed to serve and no other individuals demonstrated an interest by the deadline date. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approving Mr. Kringel and Ms. Bliss as the public representatives to review the Draft along with the Audit Committee.
